title: [New concepts in the management of upper tract urinary carcinoma in 2010].
abstract: The aim of this article is to make a synthesis of news headlines concerning the management of upper tract urinary carcinoma. For non muscle-invasive upper tract urinary tumors, ureteroscopy with biopsies is a part of the systematic diagnostic assessment in case of suspicious imaging. For muscle-invasive upper tract urinary tumors, there is low level of evidence of expert's opinion guidelines about neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. These therapeutic strategies can be sometimes discussed, by arguing analogy with bladder tumors.
